GRN's music division produces a variety of live music venues up and down the west coast. These events range from small live music performances (coffee shops, solo acts), private parties, shows and up to larger-scale full concerts and festivals. Our most prominent goal is assisting others in "making it!" Grassroots will always be supporting, developing and assisting musicians and bands in both small and large efforts. Submit your music to us and see how we can help! We can provide services such as artwork, marketing, promotions, recording, writing, producing and networking. GRN is currently not acting as a booking or management firm.
Designed with efforts of "getting local music out there," our goal is to create opportunity through creative networking with other aspiring musicians. GRN also books shows, hosts events, showcases musical talent, and even produces a variety of their own.

 WAR MACHINE MUSIC is a production of GRN that writes, produces, records and creates a variety of styles of music that is then used for multiple outlets of productions. WAR MACHINE MUSIC is written, performed and produced by primarily 2 dudes. Todd Reising (33 married with 2, from Puyallup, WA, iron worker for over 20 years) and bass player by nature. Todd writes and plays all bass and rhythm guitar parts. Bryan Gallinger (30 year-old pretty boy, entrepreneur, owner of Xtreem TV and Grassroots Network, single punk, Van Wilder meets Ferris Bueler) plays drums. Bryan plays all acoustic/electronic drums, samples and effex. Bryan and Todd originally joined forces a decade ago after meeting thru an ad in the "Rocket". The groups over the years have included "Jet", "Toy Soldier", and currently "IDLEMINE". They have had an uncanny chemistry since the day they met and their stage presence is explosive and entertaining. They are known for their rich bass & drum grooves. When they perform, they are often known for their humor, stage antics and explosive stage presence. In over a decade Todd and Bryan have had a difficult time finding guitarists and vocalists that match their chemistry or caliber. Hence, they stopped waiting and began producing completed albums without others. Their latest 3 releases are all written, performed and produced by themselves with the assistance of Jason Shavey (writer, producer, performer and engineer/owner of Synergy Studios-Redmond, WA). Occasionally they will bring in an outside musician to play on a track of a tune in the studio. They pridefully and exclusively only use Synergy Studios. It has been the combination of those 3 men that created the final product of these last 2 albums. After a year of writing, producing, fellowshipping and collaborating, Jason Shavey more officially joined the WAR MACHINE MUSIC army. Today WAR MACHINE is known for writing/producing tracks for background music. You can hear their music behind action-sports films, commercials, tv, indie films, radio ads, video games and others.
WAR MACHINE'S most recent project was strategically designed as a "Temple of the Dog" type group. Todd and Bryan auditioned guitarists, worked with numerous local musicians and spent 16 months writing, recording and rehearsing with the goal of building an all-star band. Results are the current band IDLEMINE. After a year of writing, recording and producing tracks IDLEMINE consisted of Todd Reising (bass, rhythm guitar, 33 years old from Puyallup,WA), Bryan Gallinger (acoustic and electronic drums/percussion - 30 years old from Auburn, WA), Abel Ames (lead guitarist, 30 years old from Seattle, WA), and Rick Threat (writer, producer, lyricist, vocalist from Vancouver BC - also feature member/founder of "Northern Alliance"). As of March, 2006 they completed over 15 full songs tracked, recorded and mixed. Initial goal was to release a full-length album that summer, play some shows, get the music out and see what happens! Today, IDLEMINE is embarked on a national 1 year tour and is featuring a new live drummer named Simon.
GRN's long-term vision is to have a diverse record label providing high-tech capability (keeping up on cutting edge production technology) while continuing to offer the utmost high-touch treatment with our artists. |

IDLEMINE is a straight shot to the Thinker! Our songs spin in your head like a psychotic rage made to question your beliefs in the powers that be. "The music is made to evoke thought and to change conscious Rock music.” Delivering everything from instrumentals on video games, action sport dvds, commercials, documentaries, tv and film; to complete songs with lyrics and full-length albums. IDLEMINE music is more than a band, it’s a way of thought, a way of life, and a high-energy yet positive telescope to DREAMS! |
